Greg came up a clean, sharp logo for my project that had the added benefit of contributing an iconic brand image. Extraordinarily useful, all round. He's responsive, fast, and hard-working. I hope we can work together again!

How Peterkolster started their logo design journey

Company name

'OKvlees.nl'

Overview

‘OKvlees.nl’ is a website+store selling organic and free-range meat to consumers interested in tasty, healthy meat and they take animal welfare serious. Antibiotics, hormones and other non-natural substances are not used in growing the animals. The animals live their lives as natural as possible on a farm. The farmers will receive a fair price, thereby creating a sustainable, economically sound supply. The pricing of the meat will be significantly below that of specialised organic or free-range butchers.
The meat has a high Quality (tastier than regular meat), is Healthy (due to absence of hormones and antibiotics) and the offering is Transparent (it is possible to trace back the farmer where the animal lived). Core values for the brand are down to earth, proud, passion, reliable, and fair.

Tell us a bit about who you are and the people you reach

Target customers are well educated and care about animal welfare and environment. They are unhappy with the current meat offering in retail. They care about their family and want to offer tasty and healthy meat at every day’s diner table. For the target audience, the current offering is too expensive and/or the availability is too low (either in completeness of product range or in distance to the selling point). They are a non- or light-user of organic or free-range meat. The target audience can be characterised by adventure holiday and not a organised group-travel; enjoys cooking and not take-away junk food; active (walking, biking) and not a TV addict; fuel efficient car and not a SUV, socially involved but not the first to join a protest march; down to earth and not philosophic; quality newspaper and not a tabloid (‘the Sun’)
